"With a screech of fury, Davies jumped up, grabbing Hendry’s automatic
weapon lying useless on the ground. He sprang towards the creature, less than fifty
feet away and with a flourish brought the gun up and directed
the whole magazine into its snarling face. The wounded Cryptid now close to death juddered
as the back of its skull shattered, spraying gore and brain matter all over the
road. Davies roared once more, fumbling for another magazine as the creature lay
its head down for the last time, its remaining eye fastened upon the enraged policeman.
In that second, he screamed in agony as his eyes instantly liquefied, splashing from his
cheeks as he thrashed his head from side to side, before falling headlong straight
between the Cryptids jaws which closed with a bone crushing crunch about his
head. Then it was dead, and between its giant, mottled fangs lay the policeman, twitching
just once before lying still."
Now I'm going to begin another edit of three Hoodies Save the world 3. My love and, hopefully, true talent. I'm looking forward to some more, juvenile humour.

‘What
colour? I like the red ones but the green one’s are a bit too sweet, and
anyway…’
‘Sad-case.’
Sarah flexed her foot demonstrably. He remembered what it had almost done
to him the last time and shut up.
‘Alright, a
red apple. Now, if you hold it in the palm of your hand and quite close, it would look quite
large.’
‘Not
if your hand was big.’
‘Sad, I'm going to kill you in a minute!'"
You've been hard at work. Both excerpts are great. I can't wait for these books.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I foresee a lot of editing but I'm cautiously optimistic.
ReplyDeleteNice work, Roger! Yep editing is the bane of our existence as writers, yet it helps us grow so much. Sounds like you're on a roll! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks. Never again will I have three books going at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI like both the horror and the humor ;) But I admit to an affection for the three hoodies, lol!
